Wasabi is a cloud storage provider focused on single-tier hot storage, very low costs at $0.0039/GB a month, and extremely fast speeds. Retrospect 12.5 and higher for Windows and Retrospect 14.5 and higher for Mac are certified for Wasabi. Follow these step-by-step instructions for setting up a Wasabi account and adding it to Retrospect.
Setting up a Wasabi account is quick and easy.
Visit Wasabi and click "Try it free".
Type in your first name, last name, and email address and click "Start your free trial". Wasabi requires you to verify your email address, so check your email for the verification link. When you click on the verification link, type in a password and click "Sign up".
After you verify your email address and sign up with a password, you’ll be redirected to the Wasabi Dashboard. It gives you an overview of your account and lists your storage buckets. You do not need to create a storage bucket for Retrospect; it will create one for you.
Next click on the three-line icon at the top left for the menu, click "Access Keys", and then click "Create New Access Key".
Save the access key and secret key. You’ll need them for Retrospect’s integration.
Retrospect needs three pieces of information to access Wasabi:
Path – s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/your_bucket_name (or applicable region)
Access Key – Use the Access Key from above.
Secret Key – Use the Secret Key from above.
These are the current regional URLs:
Wasabi US East 1 (N. Virginia): s3.wasabisys.com or s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com
Wasabi US East 2 (N. Virginia): s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com
Wasabi US Central 1 (Texas): s3.us-central-1.wasabisys.com
Wasabi US West 1 (Oregon): s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com
Wasabi EU Central 1 (Amsterdam): s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com
If you receive the error "These credentials are not valid", your URL might not be correct. Please verify that it includes the region.
L'aggiunta del cloud storage come destinazione è semplice. Retrospect ha un nuovo tipo di set chiamato "Cloud". Crea un nuovo set di backup/supporti e seleziona "Cloud" come tipo.

Next you’ll need to enter your cloud storage credentials. Retrospect allows customers to set the maximum storage usage, up to 100TB. If you have an existing bucket, type it into "Bucket". Otherwise, leave that field blank, and Retrospect will walk through creating a new one.

L'utilizzo del cloud storage è semplice. Dopo aver creato un set di cloud, crea un nuovo script o aggiungilo a uno già esistente e fai clic su "Esegui". Il backup inizierà con i contenuti del set che devono essere caricati nella posizione di archiviazione su cloud. Puoi seguire lo stato di avanzamento dell'esecuzione/attività.

There is a known issue with Wasabi cloud storage integration. Retrospect does not support using non-ASCII characters in the backup set name at this time. Retrospect is able to back up and restore using them, but it cannot rebuild with them.
La limitazione per il backup e il ripristino su cloud è disponibile nelle Preferenze.

Below are a number of tips for using cloud storage in Retrospect:
Strumento di misurazione della larghezza di banda – Misura la larghezza di banda in upload e download con questo strumento gratuito: Speedtest.net.
Disattivare la verifica di backup – La verifica scaricherà tutti i dati che carichi. Ulteriori informazioni sul perché è consigliabile disattivarla per i backup cloud sono consultabili su Backup su Cloud - Best practice per la protezione dei dati con il Cloud Storage.
